Episodes 100 & 101 (bonus): The Ultimate Big Deal, Part 3; Still Ultimate, Still a Big Deal
Part 1
Part 2
For our 100th episode, what could be more fitting than a discussion about the temple? It’s the centerpiece of Latter-day Saint worship members believe sets our church apart from all others. Many women can trace their most sacred experiences to it, but for others—from the wording to the rituals—attending the temple causes deep unease. Having complicated feelings about something so reverenced can be a struggle to admit, even to oneself. In this conversation, Cynthia and Susan highlight the emotions and experiences of women who generously share their hearts with us on this difficult topic.
Notes & Quotes:
The Holy Temple, by Boyd K. Packer
Prepare to Obtain Every Needful Thing, by David A. Bender, April 2019
Covenants with God Strengthen, Protect, and Prepare Us for Eternal Glory, by Jean B. Bingham, April 2022
“Be faithful to the covenants and ordinances of the gospel. Qualify for those sacred ordinances step by step as you move through life. Honor the covenants connected with them. Do this and you will be happy. Your lives will then be in order—all things lined up in proper sequence, in proper ranks, in proper rows. Your family will be linked in an order that can never be broken.” —Boyd K Packer
“There is nothing more important to our eternal progress than keeping our covenants, with God. When our temple covenants are in force, we can trust in a joyful reunion with loved ones on the other side of the veil. That child or parent or spouse who has left mortality is hoping with all his or her heart that you will be true to the covenants that bind you together. If we disregard or treat lightly our covenants with God, we are putting those eternal ties in danger. Now is the time to repent, repair, and try again.” —Jean B. Bingham
